Houston Police Department Releases Body-Worn Camera and Dashcam Footage of Fatal Officer-Involved Crash

Houston, TX — The Houston Police Department (HPD) has released body-worn camera and dashcam footage of a fatal officer-involved crash that occurred on September 19, 2023, at 5300 Antoine Drive.

The footage, made public on Thursday, shows the moments leading up to and following the tragic incident. According to HPD, the crash occurred after officers attempted to stop a vehicle that had been reported stolen. As the suspect vehicle fled, officers pursued the driver, who ultimately lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a utility pole. The crash resulted in the death of the suspect, whose identity has not yet been disclosed by authorities.

The body-worn camera footage, recorded by one of the officers involved in the chase, captures the pursuit as it unfolded. The dashcam footage from the police vehicle provides additional angles of the high-speed chase and the subsequent crash. Both sets of footage are being released in an effort to maintain transparency and provide the public with a clearer understanding of the events that led to the fatality.

HPD Chief Troy Finner addressed the release of the footage, emphasizing the department’s commitment to transparency and accountability. “We understand the importance of providing the community with accurate information, especially in critical incidents like this one. This release is part of our ongoing efforts to be open and transparent with the public,” Chief Finner said in a statement.

The incident has drawn attention from both local and national news outlets, as well as calls for a thorough review of the circumstances surrounding the crash. HPD has confirmed that the department’s Special Investigations Unit is conducting an ongoing investigation into the officer-involved incident.

“We are taking this matter very seriously and are working diligently to ensure that all aspects of the investigation are thoroughly examined,” said an HPD spokesperson.

The release of the footage comes at a time of heightened scrutiny of law enforcement practices nationwide. As the investigation continues, the HPD has vowed to keep the public informed of any new developments.

No officers were reported injured in the incident, and HPD has stated that they will continue to review policies related to pursuits and ensure that officers are following proper procedures.

The tragic crash remains under investigation, and HPD has called for any witnesses or individuals with additional information to come forward to assist in the ongoing inquiry.
